Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix

My pumpkin spice trail mix is perfect for a Halloween or fall party. It is easy and quick to make plus it makes a large batch for a crowd. Make it for the kid’s Halloween party next week or for your next tail gate!

Ingredients:

Boxed cinnamon square cereal (I used life but chex or any other name would work)

Dried cranberries

Autumn mix or candy corn

Walnuts

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 of a 16 oz package of vanilla almond bark

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Melt 1/2 of your package of vanilla almond bark (about 8 oz) in the microwave in a very large bowl. Follow the package instructions for melting. Stir well. Add 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and mix well. Add your entire box of cereal and toss to coat each piece. Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a large zippered bag. Add 1/2 of your cereal mixture. Zip and shake to coat. Lay out on a cookie sheet. Repeat with other 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 of cereal mixture. Allow the coated cereal to set up. Add cranberries, walnuts, and candy corn mix and toss to combine. Add to a bowl for eating.

Want to get a little more festive with your mix? Add it to paper cones to serve. Cut 12″ by 12″ sheets of scrap book paper into fourths. Roll into a cone and tape. Then add your trail mix.

This makes the mix easy to carry around a party and munch on. Plus it keeps the little hands out of the large bowl of trail mix!

All of the pieces get a dusting of powdered sugar once they are mixed with the cereal. I did not know just how good walnuts and cranberries are once you put a little powdered sugar on them. Y’all they are amazing.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did! I actually just made it for my family and took the remainder to work with me. That way we got to enjoy it but not eat the entire batch! Cause I am telling y’all it makes a BUNCH!

Almost 2 years and no one has asked about amounts of cranberries and walnuts you used. Did you use the whole 1 1/2 cup bag of walnuts as shown in the picture? And I can’t see what size bag of cranberries you used. Thank you for your reply.

[…] If you can’t get enough pumpkin spice, (and who can this time of year?) you certainly don’t have to go without it on your next outing. In fact, all you need to do is add a little pumpkin pie spice seasoning (your grocery store should sell some) to your preferred mix of nuts, cereal, dried fruit, and more. And, of course, toss in a few candy corns or mini pumpkins for a tiny treat! Try: Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix by The Country Chic Cottage […]
